ROBERTS and MUSTANG, you're pulling my leg about the helicopters, right? I mean, how would they have got them there in the first place?Next thing you'll be telling me they took off a side panel and put a Maxim in there! Oh, come on!

Roberts is right, they wouldn't have used Apaches, they're way too modern.Hueys similar to those used in Vietnam would have been in place.

God damn niggers should know when they're conquered.

I get a day off now and again! Seriously, just got back from the coast with a bucket of crabs I caught.I'm not sure about the Apache helicopters. Those are what's in use now-a-days. Back then it would have been the old Bell Huey UH-1 Iroquois.

FUNTIMEFREDDY34 I didn't know thatabout the helicopters. And Roberts, who is a prolific contributor to this page, with a great wealth of military knowledge didn't mention it. Are you sure about this?

The battle of Rorke's Drift is the most ENORMOUS BULLSHIT of the history of the British Army.If they were really "4,000 Zulu warriors against 139 Redcoats", the Brits would have been all killed.In reality, they were only 600 Zulus, some of which had outdated flintlock muskets, against 150 British -of which, only 9 were so "ill" not to be able to defend themselves. The Brits had all MARTINY-HENRY RIFLES, with 20,000 rounds of ammunition; 19,000 were spent.Only 370 Zulus were killed.
